CHAPTER XXVII

Chen Mu counted in his heart, even if the state government supported his thousand households with six hundred pairs of armor, right?

Although it is said that the cloth armor has a fart use, but how much talk is better than nothing, the armor Guangzhou Mansion was directly transferred to the county treasury of the Xiangshan County Ya, Chen Mu asked the soldiers to inform Sun Ao to bring the troops back, and greeted Zhou Xing into the Qianhu Yamen with a smile.

At the beginning of the hall, Chen Mu smiled and said: "Zhou County's order is here, but what instructions does the government have for Zeng Yi's affairs?" ”

"Zeng Yi!"

The gentle and elegant Zhou Xing somehow mentioned the name Zeng Yiyi, and a layer of gloom instantly appeared on his face, and he arched his hand to Chen Mu and said: "Qianhu expected it to be good, Zhou's visit to Xiangshan has nothing to do with Futai, but Zeng Yiyi ...... Chen Qianhu, if he has committed a crime, he must be captured, otherwise it will be difficult to solve the hatred in my heart! ”

"This time I came for nothing else, please borrow a hundred households to train troops for Xiangshan." Zhou Xing's serious face was full of gritted teeth, and he arched his hand and said: "The county has followed the story of the governor Luzhou, and the thirty Ding are drawn to practice together, and the remaining twenty-nine people are provided with military salaries and drilled to prepare for the Japanese thieves!" ”

"The messenger who sent Zhaoqing is on his way soon, and the governor should already know about Zeng Yi's affairs at this time."

Chen Mu was a little surprised, the Huangliang thieves have been in trouble in Xiangshan for many years, and Haojing Ao Fanyi's disobedience to restraint has intensified, this is all something that happened under the rule of Zhou Xing, although he urged a few times, he has never seen such hatred, how can he mention that Zeng Yiyi is completely like a different person.

There's a story!

"Zhou County Order, this is a copy, has a relationship with you?"

"What do I have to do with that thief? It's Chenghai! ”

Chenghai, is it possible that Zhou Xing is a Chenghai person? But Chen Mu clearly remembered that he was from Zhanggang, and what did he have to do with Chenghai.

Zhou Xing is in his forties, and at this age, people rarely get angry, but Zhou Xing's later words made Chen Mu feel that it was strange that he was not angry.

"In the forty-second year of Jiajing, the ancestors set up Chenghai at the beginning, and chose Zhou as the first county commander to plan the county seat and determine the county site, all of which are my strength. Mountaineering and wading through the water, and finally set up the county seat in Biwang Village. ”

"Piwang Village is bordered by the sea in the east, Tianliao in the west, the sand villages outside the placket, the back with Nanyang and Donglong Forts, the north has the Lotus Peak as the shoulder, the south has Malao as the Ping Domain, there are Nanao and Huafu mountains on the left and right, the south and north rivers communicate there, and Zhou still remembers the grass and trees in Chenghai even today!"

"The city, the school palace, the official office, the altar temple, Zhou drew a sketch, drew up a plan, has not yet been implemented, his mother died of illness, and he had to help his mother's coffin return to his hometown to bury and keep filial piety."

"Before leaving, Zhou left the "Chenghai County Construction Map Preface", and the later officials all built the city in accordance with the map order, Chenghai County is Zhou's hard work!" Zhou Xing said angrily, almost crying, gritting his teeth and slamming his fingers on the tea case.

"He once destroyed my city and killed my people, and there is a blood feud that does not share the sky!"

It's a blood feud.

From last year to the beginning of this year, Zeng Yi led pirates to capture Chenghai, burned the city and killed people, and left.

After the end of the war, Chen Mu had just been transferred to the Xiangshan Qianhu Office, and he didn't see anything unusual about Zhou Xing at that time, but he didn't expect to hold it in his heart, and he was provoked by the conjecture that Zeng Yi might invade Guangzhou this time, and the volcano erupted.

"Brother Zhou, don't worry, you should take revenge, morning and evening."

"You want to train soldiers, Chen will transfer a hundred households to help you, you want to kill Zeng Yi, Chen also wants to." Chen nodded lightly and said: "Zeng Yi's army is strong and powerful, Chen doesn't dare to say that he will defeat him, let alone be able to capture or kill him, but as long as he comes to Xiangshan and Guangzhou Mansion." ”

"Chen is no one else, and the Xiangshan Thousand Households is not another Thousand Households, my soldiers will not be defeated at the first touch, let alone let the people die in front of us."

"I, Chen, am not dead, so I won't let him go."

Chen Mu was not making a promise to Zhou Xing, but just stating an established fact, as long as Zeng Yiben, he would definitely fight with Haikou to the end.

This is to earn his life, as a guard of a thousand households, the jurisdiction was captured by thieves, even if he survived, he could not escape the fate of escorting the Beijing division or being executed directly in Guangzhou.

Zeng Yiyi is also struggling for his life, as long as he comes, the result can only be a narrow encounter, and there is no possibility of coexistence between them.

He's not like the pirates who just resupply food in the mirror.

Chen Mu doesn't like to say those big words that seem to be boiling with blood, it is too naΓ―ve.

He doesn't say what he can't do, and he has to leave three points of leeway in words that he can do.

"General Yu won the victory in Guangxi, the soldiers and horses are returning, and the imperial court has issued an order to attack Chaozhou, to prepare for the Kou in Guangdong, transfer the general soldiers Yu and Tang to garrison, and punish Yulu."

Zhou Xing paused and said, "It won't be Chen Qianhu who will fight alone. ”

"In addition, there are a few things in the county that ask Chen Qianhu to help Zhou."

Chen Mu raised his eyebrows and arched his hand: "Brother Zhou, please speak." ”

"First, Qianhu promised Zhou to expel the Buddhists and seize the farmland, and now the harvest is approaching, just these few days, Qianhu will not break his promise, right?"

Chen Mu waved his hand and said: "When the field is ripe, go and collect it, Chen's flag army is also waiting for the army to live, the county order sent someone to draw a picture, Chen led the troops to escort the people of Yuding, and collected the field in a few days, this is nothing, and he is not ready to kill." ”

His banner army had new farming tools, and harvesting the fields was much easier than farming.

But this matter is obviously not easy to resolve in Zhou Xing's eyes, and he said: "If there is a conflict with the monks, what should Qianhu do?" ”

"Monastery? What do we do to them when we take our fields? Chen Mu looked confused, shook his head and said: "No matter how big the Temple of the Six Banyan Trees is, how big can it be, if anyone interferes in this matter, Chen will sue the Governor Yamen, and if the Governor Yamen is not enough, Chen will sue the military department...... This kind of thing of encroaching on military land, no one has anything to do with it, and it is bigger than the sky! ”

The more he sued, the more afraid Chen was, if the matter really fell on the Guangdong Dusi, he might not be stained, but if he sued the Ministry of War.

Wu Guifang, the left attendant of the military department who had just been transferred from Nanjing to Beijing, if he knew that he confessed that the banner army under Xiao Qianhu in Xiangshan Imperial Guard Haojing had no food to support the soldiers because the military field was taken away, what would his expression be?

"By the way, Brother Zhou, how big is your county government prison?"

Chen Mu pinched his fingers, "Two thousand acres of military land, is the temple monk enough?" I don't have a big prison here. ”

"There's one more thing. In order to avoid paying taxes, they pretended to be in the name of foreign officials, so that the taxes were transferred to the poor people, and these officials were mostly officials in Shunde County, and they could not collect what should be collected, and what should not be collected should be collected! ”

"In the long run, in addition to the yellow sorghum thieves today, Chen Qianhu will get rid of the Dalan thieves and yellow flag thieves tomorrow due to the civil uprising caused by taxes, they are all the people under Zhou's rule, and they are all the ancestors and people, they can die of old age and sickness, but they can't starve to death and freeze to death!"

Zhou Xing arched his hand and said solemnly: "Zhou wants to ask the court for his life, promote Xiangshan County to Xiangshan Mansion, Shunde County must be a hindrance from it, and ask Qianhu to say to the governor on behalf of Zhou." ”
